100 d (1 hd) 100 days, roughly equivalent to 1/4 of a year (91.25 days). In Chinese tradition "bǎi rì" is the hundredth day after one's birth, also called Baby's 100 Days Celebration. semester: 18 weeks: A division of the academic year. [6] Literally "six months", also used in this sense. lunar year: 354.37 d: year: 12 mo: 365 or 366 d ...

Rather than specifically handling this special case, the initial design simply specified an arbitrary time-out date in the future with a default configuration specifying that requests should time out after a maximum of one billion seconds. However, one billion seconds before the 2038 cutoff date is 01:27:28 UTC on 13 May 2006, so requests sent ...
No negative leap second has ever been declared, but if one were to be, then at the end of a day with a negative leap second, the Unix time number would jump up by 1 to the start of the next day. During a positive leap second at the end of a day, which occurs about every year and a half on average, the Unix time number increases continuously ...
More precisely, a billion seconds is exactly 31 years, 8 months, 2 weeks, 1 day, 17 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds. Does this allow for leap years? — Arthur Rubin 09:28, 14 May 2019 (UTC) I am guessing not because the number of leap days will vary over the duration. Years, months and weeks should ideally be converted into weeks.
At this scale, there are 438 years per cosmic second, 1.58 million years per cosmic hour, and 37.8 million years per cosmic day. The concept was popularized by Carl Sagan in his 1977 book The Dragons of Eden and on his 1980 television series Cosmos . [ 2 ]
On 5 January 1975, the 12-bit field that had been used for dates in the TOPS-10 operating system for DEC PDP-10 computers overflowed, in a bug known as "DATE75". The field value was calculated by taking the number of years since 1964, multiplying by 12, adding the number of months since January, multiplying by 31, and adding the number of days since the start of the month; putting 2 12 − 1 ...
